Lord of War

   Xiao En’s gaze swept over the three of them one by one, and he smiled: "So, your Excellency Irvine is here to take refuge in me?"

   "No." The young man named Aiwen shook his head, his voice calm, "I am only responsible for escorting Mayor Zieg and Mr. Ruding."

  Shaun said oh, did not say anything, and then began to look at the notebook in his hand. The little book records some slightly more detailed list records, not too complicated, but Sean carefully looks at every page and every page, until after turning over half of the book, he finally read Finally see a specific number.

  1371.

  This means that this small town can bring 1,371 gold coins to Sean every quarter.

   But when Sean saw this number, his inner sneer got heavier.

  Hongye Town currently has a population of more than 1,800 people, but it can already bring him 1,034 gold coins every quarter. According to Sean’s current understanding, the town managed by Mayor Zieg has a population of more than 3,000, but it can only bring in 1,371 gold coins every quarter? He knew that there should have been hands and feet in this little book, but he did not understand the specific operation method, because currently there is no tax officer in the territory.

  The only thing Sean can rely on is the judgment of the lord system.

He threw the little book on the table, but Xiao En showed a smile on his face and said, "Well, that's good, I just like people who follow the rules.... But there are some things that need to be dealt with seriously, and look back. After the territory is stabilized, I will send a tax officer over."

   When they heard the first half of the sentence, the mayor named Zige and the fat man Ruding both had humble smiles, but when Sean said the second half, their faces changed slightly. However, Sean pretended not to see it at all. He turned his head and looked at Ivan, and said with interest, "I've heard of your mercenary regiment. It's really not easy to defeat Dabron's troops." ... Maybe there will be a little help in the future. I hope that your salary will not be too high at that time."

"My price is absolutely fair, Lord, you can rest assured." Aiwen's heart was slightly stunned, and he obviously felt the difficulty of Sean in front of him. "But Lord Lord, are you planning to start another war? ?"

"Panda Town, originally a town that belonged to me, is now occupied by other people, and I want to slap butcher knives on my leaders. If I, the lord, don't care about them, then who will rescue them?" Sean said with a sense of righteousness, "I was a bit worried about the timing of the war, but now I don't have to worry about it. You guys really brought me good news."

Hearing Sean’s words, Irvine’s brows frowned: "Lord Lord, from my point of view, your current strength does not seem to be enough to deal with Dabron’s troops? In this situation where the possibility of defeat is too high. Next, I will not rashly accept your entrustment."

   "William, including the reserve forces, how many troops are there now in the territory." Sean turned his head and looked at William.

  Although William is not very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, he is not a fool. At this time, he has also heard that Sean is not very happy about the small town's initiative to surrender. However, William certainly wouldn't ask questions about the current situation, so after hearing what Shaun said, he immediately replied: "Counting the Puda Militia, there are probably about 500 troops."

   "Five hundred, this number is indeed slightly less." Xiao En nodded, "So, your town... By the way, the town doesn't have a name yet?"

  "Lord Lord, please give your name." Qige bowed.

   "It's called Baige Town." Sean said lightly.

  "Thanks to the lord for the name." Qige dared to straighten up at this time, but the uneasy color on his face was also extremely obvious.

   "It seems that you have a lot of manpower in Baige Town. You have transferred 500 young and middle-aged people to join the Puda Militia." Xiao En said with a calm face, "This way, you can make up a thousand infantrymen."

   "Lord Lord!" Both Zieg and Rudin exclaimed.

  For the small town now known as Baige Town, five hundred young adults are not a small number, because the main source of income for this small town is to rely on crops. Although the old people in the small town can also work in agriculture, they are not as good as young people in terms of physical strength. Therefore, the efficiency is naturally extremely low. Moreover, they have already fought with the Dabron Mercenary Corps before, which has lost a lot of manpower. Now, if Sean were to transfer five hundred young and middle-aged people, Baige Town would basically be abolished.

"Come together a thousand-man infantry unit, plus your heroic sword, should it be enough to deal with the Dabron mercenary group?" Sean ignored the two men, and turned his head to look at Aiwen. Laughed softly.

"If I said it wasn't enough." Ivan was sullen. Although he had a maturity that did not match his age, he was still a bit arrogant after all. The aura on his body rose rapidly at this moment, but it was condensed and unreliable. A feeling like a storm is coming.

   "Then I will transfer another five hundred people." Xiao En still kept a smile on his face, "From Baige Town."

  Mayor Zida's face was already extremely pale, and even Ruding was dull. He didn't know what to say, I'm afraid the two of them really regret coming here to find Sean at this moment. But now that the matter has been overwhelming, the two also know that the key to the problem lies with Aiwen, so the two turned to look at Aiwen, their eyes full of pleading.

"Even if you transfer five hundred young and middle-aged people into the militia and form a thousand-man infantry unit, can you send it to the battlefield in an instant?" Aiwen breathed out a breath of heat, suppressing the pressure of the fire, "not to mention training How do you solve the problem of militia, and the problem of armaments?... The reason why the militia is a militia is that they are not mainly fighting."

"One month to two months of intensive training is enough." Xiao En smiled slightly. "Ordinary infantrymen are not archers responsible for long-range strikes. They understand military orders and can carry out basic cooperation on the battlefield. That's enough....Anyway, in terms of long-range strikes, isn't there your sword of bravery. Besides, there are not many archers in the Dabron Mercenary Corps."

  Speaking of this, Xiao En's eyes finally turned to Ruding, and said: "As for the issue of armaments, is there anyone who knows better than Mr. Ruding?"

  The man named Ruding has already seen sweat on his forehead.

"That's it for the time being." Sean waved his hand and signaled that the three of them could leave, "I will let Puda lead the militia group later. As for the conscription, I believe you will give me a good answer. Instead of sending someone to the town to find it myself?"

   "Yes." Mayor Zieg nodded and said yes.

Immediately, Sean took out a purse from under his desk and threw it to Rudin: "There are 10,000 gold coins in it. My request is very simple. The standard package for all militiamen is three pieces, a long spear, a broad-bladed sword, and a set. Leather armor, all the rest are meat. Intensified training consumes a lot of physical strength, I don’t want to see these militiamen are exhausted.... Of course, if you let me find out that you are corrupt, you should know the end. of."

   "Yes...Yes..." Rudin was surprised that Sean, the lord, would actually use the money to equip the militia. He thought it was for the town to find a way.

   But even so, five hundred young adults were sent to participate in the intensive training of the militia, which was a big blow to Baige Town. At least this fall’s harvest and planting income will probably not be much better, and if there is a war with Dabron, I won’t say when will Panda be regained, just one or two months. The intensive training phase is a heavy price for Baige Town.

  The result of this conversation, of course, can not be regarded as a very happy conversation. Moreover, such a strong command and attitude of Sean also made the small town of free habit feel a kind of embarrassment and humiliation. If they said that they had no grievances back from this trip, a three-year-old would know that it was impossible.

  Waiting for the three of them to leave, William frowned and said, “It’s a good thing that they come to surrender. Why do you want to force them? This is completely different from the way you deal with Hongye Town. It’s too arrogant.”

   "Do you think they really came to surrender?" Sean's mouth was sneered, and his left hand waved casually in the air.

  Of course, this "free swing" is just an outsider's opinion. In fact, Sean is checking his lord panel, which clearly shows a piece of data:

  【Number of towns owned: 1】

From the moment they saw the other three coming in, Sean had been staring at his lord panel, but even if they said surrender, the data on the lord panel did not change at all. This is the same as the original Hongye Town. The situation for announcing ownership is completely different-when Sean was killing Harbind and handing over the people of Harbind's Snake to the town for processing, the data on the lord panel immediately changed.

  Furthermore, he also received a large amount of experience rewards for regaining Hongye Town, and he was directly promoted to the eighth level.

But now, all of this situation has not changed the slightest. This can only show that the small town named Baige is not really willing to submit at all. What the mayor said would be deceiving, but The data of the system will never deceive. So if this is the case, why should Sean be polite to them? After using the power of this small town to mobilize and organize a militia group, and then defeat the Dabron Mercenary Group in one go, even if this territory is officially regained, there will be time to slowly clean up this white pigeon town.

  Originally, he was thinking about waiting for Alfred to bring someone back, but the opportunity now is rare, and Sean does not intend to waste it.

After closing the lord panel, Sean turned his head to look at William and said, "The territorial matter has been handled almost, and then I will leave it to you to train these militias as quickly as possible, and then take Pan in one go. Dazhen, lest there will be many nights and dreams."

   "I see." William nodded, "Then what are you going to do?"

  "Do a little bit of your old business, go to Heishi Town for a round, place a few orders or something."

   Xiao En glanced at his rank column, at the eighth level, he was only a little short of reaching the ninth level. At this time, he would not earn some experience points, and he would raise his level to tenth and prepare to hit the upper bronze. When would he wait?
